Abstract:

Creative Confluence is a highly original work, building bridges between
physics, biology, technology, economy, organizations, neuropsychology,
literature, arts, and cultural history. It is an attempt to explain the
process of creativity as a universal principle of nature, cutting through the
composition of atoms as well as human design of novel combinations. Creative
Confluence is yet another impressive book and a sequel to Epistemics of the
Virtual, indicating that perception and imagination operate in close contact.
In a clear and light tone, the work holds that rational problem-solving
strategies are most relevant in deterministic problem spaces whereas
creativity is pertinent in more probabilistic situations. Theories of
creativity and innovation are explored by means of computer simulations.
Conditionals that favor creativity such as diversity, tolerance, and openness
are discussed, forwarding a compelling vision of creative leadership.
